I don't know how many people you intend to serve, but most recipes yield 4 to 6 servings, so we'll go from there.

Bourbon chicken recipes vary in terms of ingredients used (some call for onions, some call for different herbs), and they also vary in cooking method (baked, braised, sauteed/then braised, etc).

As far as which chicken to buy: It would be easiest to get whole, cut-up "fryer" chicken, rather than cutting one up yourself (and there's not that much difference in price). The chicken ought to weigh anywhere from 4 to 6 pounds. The "brand" of chicken really doesn't matter too much in a recipe like this; the chicken will take on plenty of flavor from the other ingredients. If you were looking for a chicken to roast, however, I would recommend one of the "name brands" (like Empire Kosher), or a natural or "free range" chicken, because the meat will have more flavor all by itself.

Here's a good "baked" recipe, which is also very easy:

1 whole chicken, about 4-5 pounds, cut up
1/2 cup brown sugar, densely packed
1/2 cup bourbon
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed (or minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl OR a plastic "zipper" bag (using the bag means not having to wash the bowl). Place into the fridge (if you use a bowl, cover it with plastic), and leave it there for at least 2 hours (up to overnight).

Preheat oven to 350 F. Pour all of the contents of the bag/bowl (including liquid) into a baking dish, such as a lasagne pan. Glass/Pyrex or ceramic is preferable, but metal will also work (it will be harder to clean later). Use aluminum foil to cover the baking dish, and crimp the foil all around the edges to seal.

Bake for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Turn the oven up to 400 F (allow some time for the oven to reach temperature). CAREFULLY remove the foil from the baking dish (HOT HOT steam). Replace the baking dish in the oven, and cook at 400 for another 15-20 minutes. This will brown the top, thicken the sauce, and concentrate flavors.

Serve over rice or egg noodles.
